Several retailers are introducing additional security
measures to make sure that shoppers are able to buy products safely. Aldi has implemented an innovative
system. It is using traffic lights to manage the number of customers going in
and out of its outlets.
This method is being tested in a handful of stores and then,
after a week, it will be rolled out across the country. How will it work? The traffic lights are going to signal when
a client can enter the supermarket. It will take into account factors such as individual
customer limits that are in line with two-metre social distancing guidelines.
Since more consumers are able to leave their home to purchase groceries, this
system will help the firm follow rules specified by the government.
This traffic lights infrastructure is going to operate
alongside other security measures that are already in place at all Aldi stores.
For instance, there are protective screens at checkouts, distancing
markers on shop floors and sanitisation stations for customers.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi,
advanced, “The system’s trial was well received by our customers and we will be
gradually rolling this new social distancing measure out nationwide from this
week”. However, the firm reminded that priority access for NHS workers remain
in place.
